Hi i take. 5-.25 mg every couple of days. I was taking 2 mg for about 2your yrs and trying to get off. I never was into any pills but a variety of different drugs from coke to aderol to sometimes perks so i started subs to help me. Am i doing this right i really want to stoo
Everyone is really caught up on the horrible world of misconceptions. I am an exheroin addict. 1995 was my last use of heroin. But in 2005 I had a severe car accident and was put on a multitude of meds the last being Percocet on March 5th I went to a different doctor and he prescribed me suboxon and 8 mg day 8 mg at night. I read up and found they are nuts!!!!!! I wanted off the pills not to start another problem. Keep in mind everyone that our bodies take around 7 days to get addicted to the next drug. I said to hell with that! I took the dosage only the first day and cut down half doses every 12 hours until I was down to a fraction of the 8 mg strip. Don't forget I wanted off with all my heart and soul. After the 5th day I let go of it for two days until I started to feel bad!!! By then I realized I was past the worst part of withdrawl but took a real tiny pc again because I was weak and have kids to care for. Then let two days go buy and a smaller pc than last time. I am now 3 days with nothing at all and I do sleep the night. I have used zquil and it does help. You really need to over exert yourself to help your bodycore regulate back to normal and lots of hot showers because of the chills and sweats. You can do it but you have to want it with all your mite. I mean it!!!!! Otherwise don't waste your time or anyone else's. I say that from the heart. Not to be mean!!! But most important God is a must!! You need something bigger than yourself to get through it all and if you believe he will get you through. You only need the faith of a mustard seed and you can and will conquer this demon. I'm not a religious fanatic but I know I didn't do this by myself. People, places and things must also be changed otherwise I say it again. Don't waste anyone's time because youve already failed. I hope and pray for all of yiu who really want it. You can and will do it if you want it Foreal otherwise you are a lost cause and you will be the larger part of the statistic there is on failing. Your mind is your worst enemy. Don't rasionalize!!!!
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!!! I was a total mess for years, then 16 mg of subs for year and a half, jumped off at 3mg. of course it sucks, but anybody who WANTS to can do it. Nowhere near straight opiate withdrawal, thats the good thing about subs, they let u live and formulate a plan on how to attack the W/Ds. Just hunker down and be prepared, its not that bad. first 2 days were fine, days 3 and 4were worst but not that bad, try to get some benzos for the anxiety and crawly skin, get pep-to for the stomach stuff and TAKE BAYER BACK AND MUSCLE, makes the whole thing like a weak flu. try to get a sleep aid because you will need your rest. STAY POSITIVE AND HAVE A SUPPORTIVE PERSON WITH YOU, the worst is mental. The secret to sleeping when it really sucks at night is to take a very hot bath or shower for at least 15 20 minutes and then go RIGHT TO SLEEP. Exercise or stretch whenever you can, your gonna need to reteach your body to like its own drugs again lol. try different things when you feel up to it, I never read a book purely for pleasure in my life but during days 3-7 I read one a day, use this opportunity in your life as a catalyst for change. get mad and take a militant attitude, this sh*t aint sh*t!!! jumped at 3mg and went to football practice on day 13. Be strong, dont stare at the damn wall and you can TRULY AMAZE YOURSELF!!!!!
What did u use to help u
I think thats a little extreme personally. Id say drop a mg at a time and once u get to 1mg then go to .5 or .25 (if u do .5 then do .25 after, then quit). It will work just as good and save the person more time and money. thats just my opinion
Hi please let me know if you get this. Would like to ask you some questions..,,thks
Can you email me? I need help! This stuff is ruining my life! I'm going to lose my family if I don't quit now! Please help
I seen u asked for help I feel ya trust me I do!! I was on 8mg a day for a year then to 4mg for a month or 2 then 2mg for a month then 1 mg for like2 months then I was taking like .50-.25 mg for 3 weeks and ran out I'm now on day 6 and have some body aches and no energy at all and toss n turn but I been taking vitamin b12 and ginseng and Gatorade and it's helped if u really want it u can get it after day 3-4 the erge for them after lunch is almost gone then it's the erge when ur tired but I get up and walk get my legs moving and stretch
I used a similar method. Bought 20 sub strips n worked my way down. 8mg--> 4mg--> and so on. Each new dose for a week until ur down to a 1/16th of a strip a day (strips are much easier to dose out than the pills). Then skip a day between doses n eventually u just "forget" to take a dose. By then it's all in ur head n if u got things to do (job, errands...) u dont think about that dose. And that us the moment u realize u did it. Trust me it's a great feeling.
I use suboxone for over 2 years. I started out by buying 20 strips. I would start out with 8 milligrams for 1 week and every week I would split that in half.by the time I was down to a sixteenth of a strip I was readyto jump completely off. By that time it was such a little dose that it was all in my head. So when I did "forget" to take my meds it didn't affect me at all. some people are on this for years and that is ok. I would rather have gone two years with suboxone and completing college than two years of scrambling around everyday to get my fix.however long it takes this however long it takes for everyone is different. Just don't give up. Suboxin used for years is way better than is heroin use for years.just ask your body that has all the abscess injection sites and bruised arm from missing. Some say suboxin is just another methadone but since when did methadone come with an opiate blocker to keep you from messing up and going for more drugs. That is why when I had a choice between suboxone and subutex I chose the one that would keep me from adding more drugs to my body.because I was serious about living my life without that addiction controlling me
I'm on day 6 and day 2 and 3 rough but 4 and 5 a Rollercoaster today I had a few brief moments of weakness where my thoughts were on strictly find a sub but I didn't I've taken imodium ad, vit b and ginseng tablets and drinking tons of liquids now tonight it's not to to bad but is this going to stay a Rollercoaster cause I feel like I'm chained to the subs so I don't want to quit but I need to know if it's gonna get better soon I just want to b free
My advice is to stay on the 0.125 dose until it is adequate and you are adapted and no longer feeling w/d symptoms. THEN jump.
You don't know what you're talking about. You really don't. While some of the dosages people were being given are way to much, 2 mg is not any where near enough for mist heavy users. 4 mg twice a day is the lowest you should start for most people to have any hope. If you're going to start with any less you might as well do cold turkey or don't have a bad enough problem to need subs anyway. Anyone looking for info or support, don't listen to this joker, he sounds like a troll
